Broncos gallop into London, Niners-Bucs in big NFC tilt, Lions roar at Chiefs and more major talking points ahead of NFL Week 6

The NFL's London games continue this week as the Denver Broncos face the New York Jets at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.

Plus, Week 6 is headlined by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers vying for early NFC supremacy and the Jared Goff-led Detroit Lions roaring into Arrowhead Stadium to clash with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football.

All that and more as DAZN News' Mark Lelinwalla lists five intriguing storylines to follow in Week 6.

Denver Broncos, New York Jets continue NFL London Games

Last week, the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns touched down in London for what turned out to be an exciting finish.

This week, as the second of three straight weeks with a London game, the Denver Broncos (3-2) march into Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to face the New York Jets (0-5).

The Broncos are coming off a 21-17 rallying victory on the road over the Philadelphia Eagles. That game had them outscoring the defending Super Bowl champion 18-0 in the fourth quarter. The win also featured linebacker Nik Bonitto, the NFL leader in sacks this season with seven, who notched 2.5 sacks.

Looking for their third consecutive win, the Broncos are meeting the only winless team in the league in the Jets who have been absolutely dismal, fresh off a 37-22 home loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5.

Jaguars look to make another statement in hosting the Seahawks

Trevor Lawrence initially fell, then stumbled his way into the end zone with 23 seconds remaining to lift the Jacksonville Jaguars to a major 31-28 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. It was a statement heard around the NFL.

The Jaguars (4-1) will look to further prove that they are a top-tier squad Sunday when they host the Seattle Seahawks (3-2) at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida.

In addition to Lawrence’s steady play at QB, Travis Etienne Jr. has consistently been one of the best running backs this season, accumulating 443 yards rushing and two touchdowns through five games.

Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold had a monstrous 341 yards passing and four touchdowns in Week 5, though a costly interception paved the way for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to eke out a game-winning field goal as the clock expired.

Can the Ravens salvage their season against the Rams?

Before this 2025 NFL season kicked off, many prognosticators predicted the Baltimore Ravens to enjoy a deep playoff run. Some even circled the Ravens to win the Super Bowl.

However, entering Week 6 of the season, the Ravens are mired in a 1-4 record, going nowhere fast, and that can be attributed to two very different sides of the football.

Two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson, along with bruising running back Derrick Henry, are leading a sixth-ranked offense, producing 28.2 points per game.

The defense, though, has been taking a beating, surrendering 35.4 points per game — ranked last in the league.

Some feel like the Ravens are already cooked this season. But if they are going to salvage their 2025 campaign, they’re going to have to turn things around now, as a 1-5 start would be awfully insurmountable.

Their 44-10 home loss to the Houston Texans last week was a devastating blow in which Jackson (hamstring) did not play due to injury, and Cooper Rush tossed three interceptions.

If Jackson does not play again, the Ravens are going to have to muster as much pride as possible in hosting a Los Angeles Rams (3-2) squad, which fell short to the San Francisco 49ers, 26-23, last week.

Can the Ravens dig their way out of this hole? We are about to find out.

Niners, Buccaneers try to stake claim to being NFC’s best

There is a 4-1 team sitting atop each of the four NFC divisions, with the San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers being two of them.

They will clash at Raymond James Stadium in Florida on Sunday in an attempt to lay early claim to being the NFC’s best.

In three games playing for an injured Brock Purdy (toe), Mac Jones has filled in admirably, leading the Niners to a 3-0 record and buying the franchise quarterback more time to recover. Christian McCaffrey has helped the adjustment as the veteran running back continues to force defenses to account for his dual threat via rushing and catching out of the backfield. McCaffrey has found the end zone receiving in three of the Niners’ past four games.

Glaringly evident has also been the stellar play of Bucs QB Baker Mayfield who is ranked top five in passing yards (1,283) and touchdowns (10) this season.

His chemistry with rookie wide receiver Emeka Egbuka has only been growing as the 19^th overall draft pick has hauled in 25 receptions for 445 yards and five TDs this season.

Will Lions roar against the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football?

After winning two straight games, the Chiefs suffered a setback in a heartbreaking 31-28 defeat at the hands of the surging Jacksonville Jaguars.

It will not get any easier for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs (2-3), who host the Detroit Lions (4-1) at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City this weekend.

The Lions are the hottest team in the NFL, having won four straight games, including their 37-24 trouncing of the Cincinnati Bengals last week.

Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Amon-Ra St. Brown have powered the NFL’s most high-octane offense, which is piling up a league-best 34.8 points per game this season.

That might force Mahomes to fight fire with fireworks of his own as the Chiefs cannot afford to slide to 2-4.

Under the solo spotlight of Sunday Night Football, a roaring Lions’ victory might stake their claim to being the best team in the league.
